To begin with, Jeep Compass is the cheapest SUV in this comparison with the petrol manual starting at Rs 21.38 lakh (ex-showroom). The Compass is the only model to be available with a plethora of powertrain options. All other models in this comparison are limited to an automatic gearbox with either petrol or diesel powertrain option. The costliest vehicle in this comparison is the C5 Aircross with a sticker price of Rs 40.02 lakh (ex-showroom). The Tiguan is not far behind the French SUV and comes in at Rs 38.28 lakh. Prices for the Hyundai Tucson are yet to be announced and we expect it to be in the range of Rs 25 to Rs 35 lakh.

In terms of dimensions, the All-New Hyundai Tucson is the longest in the segment followed by the Tiguan and C5 Aircross. Similarly, the Tucson also offers the most in-cabin space with a wheelbase of 2755mm. The next best cabin is seen on the C5 Aircross which also gets the widest and the tallest interior. The dimensions of the Jeep Compass are nothing to write home about as the SUV clearly lags behind its rivals.
